[AVNE]COLAC COLAC STATION BURIAL - 5/10/2008 05:27:37
D. Weatherill
Good Morning Again;
With my research into the Tintaldra Cemetery and the Jephcott family who were buried there, I found the following:
Charles Reece Pemberton JEPHCOTT: Died 16 January, 1882 of pneumonia at Corryong, aged 31 years. He was a saddler and was buried at Colac Colac Station, Corryong on 27
January, 1882. He was born in Stoke, England and had 5 years in Queensland, 7 years in NSW and 9 years in Victoria. He was not married.
Does any list member know anything at all about Colac Colac Station, or if there were any other burials on it? This is the first I have heard of it.
Regards,
David Weatherill

Hi David,
From my records, I have -
Mary Wheeler was "removed from Colac Colac House by authority of Solicitor General. 20 December 1917 No.17/6237". It appears she was only
there a short time, dying in Sep 1917 aged 84, before reburial in the Corryong Cemetery.
Sarah Sheather, dau of Chas. & Mary Wheeler (nee Nash, as above) was also transferred from Colac Colac homestead by authority. She was
reburied Corryong in July 1935 (I don't have a record of when).
Would be interesting to find out if/when Chas. Jephcott was transferred and to where? Wermatong/Towong?
Regards,
Chris
